Something she picked up from her creator, Ichinose. Character Tic: Sophia occasionally hums a little tune to herself.EMMA is humanity's end, in someone else's control, and coldly logical. Sophia is 'humanity's companion', genuinely helpful, and sweet as a button. Cain and Abel: Is the Abel to EMMA's Cain.But Now I Must Go: After defeating Demiurge, she decides to leave with her creator Ichinose to parts unknown at the end of the game to help Ichinose better understand the human heart and help her from straying from the path.Fittingly enough, her first appearance was that of an Eldritch Abomination, while in Strikers she is a Bless user and a literal carrier of hope for the Phantom Thieves. The Bus Came Back: After 23 years, five videogame console generations and over ten games in the series, Pandora returns to the Persona games as a summonable Persona.Brainwashed and Crazy: Thanks to Ichinose during the Phantom Thieves diving into the Jail of the Abyss.By that point, it's shown she is a very strong combatant. Braids of Action: Whenever she's in a Jail, Sophia's 'pigtails' combine into a singular 'braid'.Both the box and panels have similar patterns to those on Pithos's units. When they combine and transform into Sophia's actual Persona, Pandora, she takes on the form of a woman with a box on or in place of her head surrounded by four panels. Bishōnen Line: Her Mock-Persona, Pithos, usually takes the form of several floating objects covered in strange patterns.By the end, she's essentially a human girl living in a phone. Her gaining an actual Persona cements her as having grown into humanity, as only those who have developed egos can have Shadows or Personas. Become a Real Boy: While not literally (as she's an AI in Joker's phone), part and parcel of her story arc involves this, as she grows from a naïve digital assistant to a thinking, feeling person.Badass Adorable: Physically speaking, she looks the same age as Futaba and Kasumi, and yet she can wipe out scores of Shadows just as easily as the rest of them.Audience Surrogate: As the greenhorn of the group, she's this for anyone who didn't play Persona 5, as a way to help bring them up to speed somewhat.While outside it, she communicates with the Phantom Thieves through Joker's smartphone. As a result, she can only take on a physical form in the Metaverse. Artificial Intelligence: She's an AI, specifically a prototype for the AI that runs the EMMA application.Antagonistic Offspring: She was created by Ichinose and goes against her near the end of the game to protect humanity from EMMA.Given that she's an AI and that her base hairstyle looks like Boyish Short Hair, it's unclear whether they're supposed to represent her hair or antennae. These pigtails combine into a ponytail when she's in combat. Anime Hair: Her pigtails are in the shape of chains of hearts that aren't physically connected to her head.Immediately afterward, Sophia gains Makougaon, which is the only way for her to learn Makougaon (even in New Game Plus). 11th-Hour Superpower: She awakens to Pandora and gains the Hope Arcana late in the game after rejecting Kuon's orders to kill the Phantom Thieves.Interestingly, a more appropriate representation of the original interpretation where she is an aspect of the true god who accidentally created the Demiurge exists in the game. Unlike the traditional Gnostic depiction of Sophia as an aspect of the 'True God', this one appears to be based on the Nag Hammadi Gnostic texts where she is the lowest Aeon that represents wisdom. Later on, however, she awakens and Pithos transforms into a true Persona: Pandora, the first human woman from Greek mythology, as well as the one responsible for unleashing all of humanity's evils on the world after opening the fabled 'Pandora's Box'. Traditionally, a pithos is a type of container from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. She joins the Phantom Thieves to investigate the Shadow invasions around Japan as an honorary member.Īt first, she battles using a Persona-like entity named Pithos, which manifests as a set of four pillar-like objects covered in abstract, black-and-white patterns. Her original form is a massive box, but took this form per Joker's wishes. A strange girl that Joker encounters while the Phantom Thieves pursue the ongoing incidents across Japan.
